What's Peyton Manning up to? Tobogganing down the Great Wall of China

Don’t bother calling Peyton Manning if you’re an NFL team that has injuries at quarterback and is desperate. He’s busy.

No, he’s not really spending his Sundays at the grocery store or inviting brother Eli over to have nachos. Manning, who retired after winning a Super Bowl last season with the Denver Broncos, is in China and rode the Great Wall of China in a toboggan.

Yep.

I guess this is what NFL legends do after they retire. Next, he’ll ski down the Great Pyramid of Giza in the latest episode of “A Quarterback Abroad.”

We all wondered what Manning would do in retirement, since he had so many options open to him. If he didn’t want to coach, or have a prominent role in a front office, there’s no question television would have been a lucrative profession. But he has passed that all up, at least for now, to cross off some things he couldn’t do when he was studying opposing defenses all season.
